1.- La joven Fara, de Irán: “Enviada por mi abuela a aprender las oraciones con un mullah, quien enseñaba en árabe; no entendía nada. Le pregunté al mullah el significado de lo que oraba; este contestó que eso no era importante, que lo importante era que lo dijera con todo mi corazón. Fui reprendida por su cuestionar.

Conseguí un Corán en ingles, leyéndolo a mi madre ambas nos horrorizamos del escrito. No podía ser que fuera cierto. Mi madre, mi hermana  y yo dejamos el Islam. Yo encontré el amor de Cristo.

Es por ello que los estudiantes, ahora educados, están escandalizados con el islam.”

2.- De un hombre de Marruecos, la  vida de Cristo: “Dejé el islam porque no encontré paz. Desde mi niñez, he tenido una cantidad de preguntas  sobre los derechos humanos in el islam, los derechos de las mujeres, la vida eterna y sobre la vida de Mahoma.

Empecé buscando respuestas leyendo la Biblia y comparando la vida de Mahoma con la del Señor Jesucristo. Me vi lejos del islam, iluminado por el evangelio y la verdad de la Palabra de Dios.”

Cuando se observa la vida de Mahoma: asesino, matón, ladrón, pederasta, mentiroso; y lo compara con Jesucristo, Quien es sin pecado, amoroso, santo y murió por nosotros; el musulmán se sorprende.

Ellos no pueden creer la diferencia. El Jesús enseñado en el Corán no es el absoluto Jesús. Desde luego, cualquiera se siente atraído por quien da su vida por ellos.

Cuéntales a ellos, que Jesús murió por sus pecados.

3.- Egipcio Abdel Masih, como fue salvo por el amor de Dios. “Nací en familia egipcia, musulmana. Mirando el pasado creo que mi familia era amorosa por ser liberales con relación al islam. Era amorosa no por el islam, sino a pesar de este. Cuando empecé a estudiar vi que el Corán estaba lleno de odio, difícil de amar. La cristiandad parecía muy familiar y el Sermón de la Montaña es una enseñanza acorde a mi corazón. No hay nada parecido en la literatura islámica.”

Dios es amor. Los musulmanes no conocen el amor por Alá. Ven los mulàs en la televisión y están malhumorados y gritando siempre. Es religión de odio. Un musulmán, como cualquier persona, desea conocer el amor, y usted puede acercarse a ellos contándoles del amor de Dios.

4.- Seguridad de la salvación. Mounif de Marruecos escribió: “Mi padre era y sigue siendo un imán en una mezquita. Yo tenía muchas preguntas sobre mi lugar en el paraíso pero no había respuestas.”

Los musulmanes no tienen seguridad de la salvación excepto para quienes mueren como mártires. Matando infieles, con su propia muerte, es la única seguridad de su salvación. ¿Por qué cree que ciertos musulmanes son voluntarios para inmolarse? Es la única forma de llegar al paraíso.

Por el contrario, les puede asegurar que Jesucristo, quien murió una vez por todos, por los pecados, pueden tener la seguridad del cielo con su padre.

5.- Gracia. Sinbad de India comparte: “Yo desde luego, había seguido todo el proceso de aprendizaje sobre el islam, lo de hacer y no hacer y trataba de aplicarlo, pero sentía como si estuviera siempre llevando una gran carga en mi espalda, como si estuviera preso. Después de haber abandonado, sentí como si hubiera salido de prisión.”

El islam es como grilletes al musulmán. Ellos así lo sienten y lo saben.

Pero cuando les enseña de la gracia de Dios, que no hay nada que pueda hacer para salvarse, que Dios hizo todo y que Jesucristo pagó por sus pecados en la cruz, entonces se sienten liberados.

¿Tal vez usted recuerde cuando fue salvo y como sintió como un gran peso fue quitado de usted?

Bueno el musulmán está deseando ser liberado también de ese peso.

6.- Una relación con Dios. Cynthia de América compartió: “Mi temor de Alá se hizo tan intensa que deseaba tener cáncer; ser castigada ahora en vez de después de muerta. Obsesivamente, en oración limpiaba mi cuerpo hasta sangrar mis manos. Seguía creyendo en una religión que externamente se veía tan moral y recta.

Después hice algo que conté a mis padres y nunca antes habría hecho. Alquile la película La pasión de Cristo. Contuve las lágrimas hasta la corta escena cuando María Magdalena retrocede al dia en que Jesús era la única persona que la aceptaba y le amaba. Empecé a llorar cuando de repente comprendí lo que por años mi madre había estado tratando de decirme. Finalmente entendí que Dios me ama y que no me iba a hacer daño. Fue también en ese momento que entendí que Alá no es Dios. Sentí el amor y protección de Dios a mí alrededor. Ya no tenía miedo de vivir o de morir. Veía al mundo hermoso y ya no podía dejar de agradecer a Dios por salvarme.

Son solo 2 semanas desde que fui salva por Jesucristo y han sido las 2 semanas más felices de mi vida. Cada dia me despierto agradecida de que Dios nunca se aparta de mí. Siento como si pacientemente esperara mi regreso. Ahora vivo mi vida con una paz interior y amor por Dios que no puedo poner en palabras.

Gracias Jesús porque nunca me abandona.”

Una relación con Dios es una de las mejores formas para alcanzar a un musulmán para Cristo. Los cristianos tienen relación con Dios, no es distante o desconocido, que poco se interesa por ellos y quiere su muerte para probar su fe; sino un Dios que los ama y se preocupa por ellos. Él es justamente el Jesús que usted aceptó.

Jesucristo viene pronto. Derrotará a Satanás con el islam. Durante la gran tribulación, leyendo apocalipsis, sobre las multitudes que aceptaron a Jesucristo como salvador, se verá que muchos fueron salidos del islam.

Salga y comparta el evangelio con los musulmanes, no tenga miedo de ellos. No les temas porque ellos están buscando la verdad como muchos otros. Liberarlos de esa carga de pecado y juicio compartiendo a Jesucristo.

VERSION EN INGLES

Jesus Christ died too by muslims. Do they know? Testimony of ex muslims.

1) A ex-Muslim girl from Iran who calls herself Fars.

«I left Islam for several reasons. Originally because I was sent by my grandmother to a mullah to learn the Islamic prayer. I was taught this in Arabic, which as a Persian, I didn’t understand one word of it. When I asked this mullah what the heck it meant and what I was saying, he said it wasn’t important that I know, just that I say it with all my heart. Say what with all my heart? He then complained to my grandmother that I was too questioning for a girl and should be talked to. Whatever.

I finally bought an English translation of the Koran; I was appalled. No wonder the Mullah didn’t want me to know what it all meant. When I read some of the passages in English to my mother she was shocked with disbelief. ‘That can’t be right!’ She couldn’t believe it and she had been a Moslem all her life and never knew exactly what the Koran said. She and my sister have both also left Islam.

That is the tragic legacy especially in Iran which had Islam forced on it by Arabs. That is why educated college students are up in arms because they are finally beginning to understand what Islam really means and says.»

Once Fars could read the Bible in her own language, she gave her life to Christ. So, it’s okay for a Muslim to read the Bible, and you can tell them that.

2) The life of Christ.

The following is a real testimony of a man from Morocco named Ibn Zakaria.

«I left Islam because I didn’t find peace with it. Since my childhood, I had a lot of questions in my mind about human rights in Islam, women’s rights, eternal life and about the life of Mohammed. I started looking for answers, by reading the Bible and comparing the life of Mohammed to that of the Lord Jesus Christ. I found myself far from Islam and enlightened by the Gospel and the truth of the Word of God.»

When you hold up the life of Mohammed — a killer, a murderer, a wife stealer, a child molester, a liar — and put it up against Jesus Christ who is sinless, loving, holy, and died for us — the Muslim is shocked. They can’t believe the differences. The Jesus taught in the Koran isn’t that Jesus at all. Of course, anyone is attracted to someone who lays down their life for them. Tell them what Jesus did for them by dying for their sins.

3) The love of God.

Abdel Masih of Egypt shared how he became saved.

«I was born in Egypt to a Muslim family. I think in looking back that maybe my family was loving because it was liberal in its approach to Islam. It was loving not because of Islam but in spite of it. When I began to study I saw that the Koran was very filled with hate and not enough on love. Christianity seemed so much more familiar and the Sermon on the Mount is a teaching after my own heart. There is nothing like it in the Islamic literature.»

God is love. You know Muslims don’t know love from Allah whatsoever. They see these mullahs on TV and they are angry and yelling all the time. It’s a religion of hate. A Muslim like any person wants to know love, and you can reach them by telling them of the love of God.

4) The assurance of salvation.

Mounif of Morocco writes this testimony:

«My father was and still is an imam in a mosque. I had many questions about my place in Paradise, but there was no answer.»

Muslims have no assurance of salvation except for one thing, and that is to die a martyr. To kill infidels by your own death is the only assurance they have of salvation. Why do you think that certain Muslims are willing to blow themselves up? That’s the only way they can get into Paradise.

You instead can assure them that through Jesus Christ, who died once and for all for their sins, they can have the assurance of Heaven with their Father.

5) Grace.

Sinbad of India shared his story:

«I had of course gone through the whole process of learning about Islam and the do’s and don’ts, and had always tried to practice it but always was struggling as if I was forever carrying a great load on my back, as if I was in a prison. After I left I felt as if I had just been released from prison.»

Islam is like shackles to a Muslim. They feel it. They know it. But, when you teach them about the grace of God, that there’s nothing you can do to be saved, that God did it all and that Jesus Christ paid for their sins on the cross, then they feel relieved. Maybe you can look back at the time when you got saved and you remember how it felt to have that weight lifted off of you? Well, a Muslim is looking for that weight to be lifted off of them as well.

6) A relationship with God.

Cynthia from America shared:

«My fear of Allah became so intense that I hoped to get cancer and therefore be punished for my sins on earth instead of after death. I would scrub and cleanse my body in prayer so obsessively, that my hands became cracked and bloody. Still, I continued to believe in a religion that on the outside looked so moral and just.

Then I did something that I told my parents and myself I would never do. I rented the movie The Passion of The Christ. I held back tears that threatened to fall from my eyes until the short scene in the movie when Mary Magdalene reverts back to the day when Jesus was the only person who would accept her and love her. I began to cry as I suddenly realized what my mother had been trying to tell me for years. Finally, I understood that God loved me and was not out to get me or do me harm. It was also at that moment that I knew that Allah was not God.

I felt the love and protection of God all around me. I was no longer scared to live and no longer scared to die. The world looked so beautiful and I couldn’t stop thanking God for saving me.

It has only been two weeks since I was saved by Jesus Christ, and they have been the happiest two weeks of my life. Every day that I wake up I am so grateful that God never left my side during my seven-year hiatus. I feel like he was just patiently waiting for my return. I now live my life with an inner peace and love for God that I cannot put into words.

Thank you Jesus for never leaving me!»

A relationship with God is one of the best ways to reach a Muslim for Christ. Christians have a relationship with God, and not some distant, unknowable being that could care less about them and wants their death to prove their faith, but a God who loves them and cares for them. He’s the very Jesus you accepted.

Jesus Christ is coming soon. He will defeat Islam. He will defeat Satan. And, I think during the Tribulation when you read in Revelation about the multitudes that have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, I’d bet that many of them are former Muslims, finally released from Islam’s hold.

So, go out and share the Gospel with Muslims! Don’t be scared of them. Don’t be scared, for they are seeking truth just like so many other people. Free them of that burden of sin and judgment by sharing Jesus Christ.
